Mortal Kombat 1's Homelander Will Not Be Voiced by Antony Starr
Fans Express Disappointment
In a straightforward response on his Instagram, Antony Starr answered a fan's inquiry about voicing Homelander in Mortal Kombat 1 with a simple "nope."
The announcement of Homelander as part of the upcoming DLC characters for Mortal Kombat 1 had sparked excitement among fans. Starr's portrayal of Homelander in the satirical superhero series "The Boys" has been widely acclaimed, contributing significantly to the show's success. The popularity of the series led to a spin-off, "GenV," featuring a cameo by Homelander.
Starr shared behind-the-scenes footage on his Instagram on November 12, 2023, prompting a fan to ask about his involvement in Mortal Kombat 1. His casual "nope" left many fans disappointed, reflecting their high regard for his performance as the villain.
Speculations and Theories Surrounding Antony Starr
This decision marks a departure from Mortal Kombat's tradition of involving original actors. For instance, the latest character, Omni-Man, was voiced by J.K. Simmons, who originally voiced the character in the "Invincible" series, setting expectations high for Starr's involvement with Homelander.
Some fans speculate that Starr might be misleading them, perhaps channeling Homelander's deceptive nature. Others suggest he might be under an NDA and unable to confirm his involvement. There's also a theory that Starr might have given a dismissive answer to quell the constant inquiries.
Fans noted that Starr has previously voiced Homelander for a Call of Duty collaboration in July, fueling suspicions that he might still be involved with Mortal Kombat 1.
As the community awaits further updates, the truth behind Starr's involvement remains to be seen. Stay tuned for more news on Homelander in Mortal Kombat 1.
